Composite metal-carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) tubes combine the benefits of the high strength to weight ratio of the fiber/resin composite and the stable, ductile plastic collapse mechanism of the metal, to form a composite tube with high strength and energy absorption capability. This paper investigates the axial capacity and crushing behavior of square hollow section (SHS) tubes composed of composite steel-CFRP, stainless steel-CFRP and aluminum-CFRP. Experiments of tubes with different metal SHS geometries and two different matrix layouts of carbon fibers are described, and a general theory to predict the compression buckling, axial capacity, axial collapse and mean crush load of metal–fiber square tubes is developed and validated against the experimental results. It is shown that carbon fiber may be successfully externally bonded to metal SHS, and such application may be provided to improve the performance of existing structures, or to design new structures with enhanced strength-weight and energy absorption-weight ratios. Comparisons are made between the performance of the different types of metals, SHS geometries and carbon fiber matrix layouts.
